      Very poor customer service. My truck has a warranty with Cars Protection. The rear end needed to be replaced. The first used replacement rearend was damaged. Several weeks went by before a new rear end could received. A dispute for required labor hours occurred between Cars Protection and the repair shop. No consideration by Cars Protection of the amount of labor incurred by the first defective rear end. I've called and tried to get the matter resolved however after several phone calls and emails, Cars has ignored my concerns. I've been waiting over a month for this to be resolved with no end in sight.

      The CARS Protection ********* (CARS) ************************ is in receipt of your BBB review and responds as follows:CARS has reviewed the mechanical claim opened on October 17, 2024, by your repair facility on behalf of your Vehicle, and the original rear differential was declined by your repair facility at delivery; therefore, there was no labor charged for installation. The labor time for the rear differential on the final invoice submitted to CARS by your repair facility was .3 hours less than the labor time that was submitted on the estimate at the start of the mechanical claim. Taking that into account, any difference in labor amount/time is likely a difference between what your *************** Contract (VSC) covers and what your repair facility charges.CARS apologizes that the original rear differential arrived damaged as CARS understands what an inconvenience it can be to not have use of your Vehicle. The replacement part was received by your repair facility on November 14, 2024. On December 02, 2024, CARS received the final invoice from your repair facility and issued payment in the authorized amount.CARS hopes this information was helpful.Sincerely,The ************************ la

      I purchased this extended warranty from the dealer when I bought my car. I am certainly glad I did. This car has seen more than its fair share of problems and C.A.R.S Protection Plus Inc has covered all of them thus far. I have had the car and warranty for almost five years. I couldn’t be happier with the purchase of this extended warranty and will purchase again with my next auto purchase. I would recommend this company to anyone purchasing a used car or wanting to extend their warranty after the manufacturer warranty.

      Zero stars if I could! My dealer sold me a warranty with this company and they are TRASH! They only covered $75 an hour on labor with my transmission and they do not pay for fluids or any kind they also wanted to get my transmission from a Junk yard with mo warranty. The mechanic shop will not work on my car without being able to complete the job correctly. They quoted my $1580.00 on top of the small portion this warranty company quoted them! I am taking legal action on the warranty company for false information and the dealership because I havent had my vehicle 60 days before this issue and they drug it out until the 3 month warranty almost over. Im easy for the battle/ war! I asked to speak with a supervisor numerous times but no escalation process is available. They do NOT COMMUNICATE with you they only deal with the shop and make the shop relay this information of what they will not cover. Its sad and a scam the customer service is a rude set of bitter people that dont like their jobs and due to you not having a claims adjuster you have to call in and give contract number EVERY time to be transferred to whoever answers the phone! I would definitely not recommend buying from any company that uses this company as a warranty company

      The CARS Protection ********* (CARS) ************************ is in receipt of your BBB review and responds as follows:CARS offers a variety of *************** Contracts (***) with differing coverage levels, some that cover any repair facilitys posted labor rate within industry standards. The *** CARS has on file for you has two (2) labor rate options; the repair facilitys rate up to $75.00/hour or the repair facilitys rate up to $160.00/hour. You paid for the $75.00/hour option. Regarding the parts, you were provided two (2) options on how to receive the parts needed for the repair; CARS can ship CARS supplied parts, sourced from a third-party parts supplier, and assist with the labor OR you can take the claim allowance, currently quoted at $2,663.06, and have the repair facility provide the part. CARS supplied parts come with a 90-Day Parts and Labor warranty OR upon contract expiration, whichever comes first. You are correct that diagnostic information and claim decisions must be provided by the repair facility who is fixing the vehicle; however, a customer can call and review their mechanical claim with CARS if they choose to do so. CARS hopes this information was helpful.Sincerely,The ************************ la

      Wish I could give them ZERO stars! They are not a warranty company. I was told by the auto dealer that the warranty would cover anything other than normal wear and tear. The customer service **** have no manners whatsoever, they are rude and will tell you "it's your problem". No local mechanic shops near me would even work with them. Every time I have had an issue the mechanic tells me to take it to another shop because the warranty company won't work with them or they are just too difficult to deal with. So now, I'm out money for a warranty I cannot even use. Please save yourself the hassle and don't buy a warranty with this company, it's a total scam. It's very obvious they are only in business to scam people out of money and find any reason to not pay a claim. SCAM!!! BEWARE!!!
